Text: | Angel, Roll The Rock Away |
Author: | Thomas Scott |
Tune: | HENDON |
Composer: | Henri A. C. Malan |
1 Angel, roll the rock away;
Death, yield up thy mighty prey!
See, He rises from the tomb,
Glowing in immortal bloom,
Glowing in immortal bloom.
2 'Tis the Savior! Angels, raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise;
Let the world's remotest bound
Hear the joy-inspiring sound,
Hear the joy-inspiring sound.
3 Heav'n displays its portals wide;
Glorious Hero, thro' them ride!
King of glory, mount Thy throne,
Thy great Father's and Thine own!
Thy great Father's and Thine own!
4 Host of heav'n, seraphic fires!
Raptured sweep your sounding lyres;
Sons of men, in humbler strain,
Sing your mighty Savior's reign!
Sing your mighty Savior's reign!
5 Ev'ry note with wonder swell;
Sin o'erthrown, and captive hell!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Where thy terrors, vanquished king?
Where thy terrors, vanquished King?
Amen.
